Transference and Its Object: The Agalma — Lillian Ferrari (first meeting)
Contrary to being an intersubjective phenomenon, Lacan connects transference in analysis with a particular object he isolates in his seminar on Transference as the agalma, a hidden, precious object of desire enclosed in the other, and the antecedent of his notion of object a.
We will read selected chapters of Seminar VIII, Transference (1960-61).
